A cleaning blogger has explained how she gets her vacuum back working at full efficiency thanks to a simple tool.
Sharing a video with her 29,000 Instagram followers, Kelly said she rejects expensive tools in favour of a simple 59p stitch picker from Home Bargains.
And Kelly, who posts on the page Mrs D’s Cleaning Reviews , explained exactly how it all works.
She also admitted the state of her roller was far from ideal, but felt she wouldn't be alone in that.
“I’m sure a lot of people have a vacuum roller bristle brush like this that looks exactly same, it’s clogged with hair,” she said.
Sharing her tip with fans , she wrote: “Top tip for removing hair from your vacuum roller.
"There are many different tools on the market that will help you remove the trapped hair in the bristles of your vacuum roller. Some work better than others and some of them can be a little pricey too.
"This solution only costs 59p from @homebargains and its something that is designed for tailors and for people who sew.
"It's a stitch picker."
Kelly added: "The stitch picker glides through the tangled hair so easy, and it's the only thing I will use to remove the hair from my vacuum roller."
And the better news is you can get one for less than a pound.
"You can find it in the sewing section at Home Bargains for just 59p," she wrote.
"Happy Cleaning."

A third shared: “Brilliant idea! I have to de-hair my shark every week with the amount I shed.”
Others said they already had the tools, but hadn't considered using them this way.
"Great tip I already have a stitch cutter but wouldn't have thought of this so thanks," one wrote.
Another added: "Brilliant and have them already for sewing."
